Gun bills up for hearing in Colorado Senate committee on March 30

[JamesB]

The last two gun bills alive in the Colorado Legislature come up for a hearing on Wednesday March 30 at 1:30PM. The Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee will hear SB 16-113, a bill sponsored by Sen. Marble to repeal the magazine ban. A companion bill already failed in the House. The committee will also hear SB 16-144, sponsored by Sen. Cooke. SB16-144 would revise the concealed carry permit law to allow persons who are between the ages of 18 and 21 to apply for a permit if they are either active duty military or honorably discharged from the US Military. A similar bill to 16-144 was also voted down in the House this year.

If you're interested, come down and testify in favor of one or both bills.

This passed, will the house be able to kill it?

The Democrat controlled house will never pass a gun owner friendly bill....EVER! We can't even get something as obvious as a CCW exemption on the universal background check requirement to pass with that group of extremist idiots.

On Wednesday, both bills passed out of committee on a vote of three to two. All the Republicans on the committee voted for the bills, all the Democrats voted against the bills. Both are headed to the Senate floor for consideration on Monday April 4. Assuming they pass in the Senate, they will go on to the House, where they have already killed two very similar bills in committee.

On April 6 the Senate passed SB 16-144, the bill to let people in the military (or honorably discharged) between the ages of 18 and 21 apply for a Colorado CCW permit. It passed on a vote of 21 to 14. All the Republicans voted for it, along with three Democrats, Senators Jahn, Garcia and Johnston. The bill will go to the House.

The mag ban repeal, SB 16-113, has had a vote put off for several days now, and is currently scheduled for April 11.

Thanks for the updates James.

Did the repeal make it out of the kill committee?

Looks like it is scheduled for a vote tomorrow,

SB 16-113, the mag ban repeal bill passed out of the Senate, and heads to the House. Given a similar bill already died in the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, it's chances aren't great.
